missing hidden characters
I made a small change to a UNIX script. When I tried to run it I received the following message:
/bin/ksh[11]: ^M: not found /bin/ksh[13]: ^M: not found /bin/ksh[39]: ^M: not found As ^M is a non printing character, I don't know how to discover where it is missing. How can I correct thiis error? Also, how can I avoid this error in the future? thank you very much for your help |

That looks like something you'd get when your script actually contains carriage returns and Unix doesn't like it. Is it possible that you edited your script with a Windows-based text editor that saved the file in DOS format? Try running dos2ux or dos2unix on your script (might want to make a backup first) and run it again. Just a hunch.

Always edit unix text documents with a "text" editor that defaults to unix line endings. That will help you avoid such scenarios in the future.
The editor you used may provide a means to convert the line endings back to unix. |
